i have recently been thinking about thee moods i will do to my 1996 Acura Integra LS one of them begin an H22A engine swap which most of you may or may not know is like a Type R engine and pushes about 190-210hp STOCK my question is i have told so people about this that seem to know alot about cars some tell its easy and u can use stock engine mounts and its no big thing others tell me its a huge hassle and waist of money i come to you all today to get the truth can i be done and at a resonable price without to many mods to the body or is it more trouble than its worth FYI i have found the engine ONLY for 1300 so i will need tranny and other connections and ECU any input u can give me on places to look or ANYTHING would be appreciated

Thanx In Advance For Your Help

 

its not hard if you have someone who knows what hes doing...and you will definitely need motor mounts for the swap...o and btw the h22 is nothing like the typeR engine...i'd go into detail but im pretty sure its somewhere here in this forum...unless you want me to explain how the two are different...

 

it would be appreciated if u could explain the difference but i didnt mean they was alike i meant they push about the same power

 

you can buy custom mounts to get the engine in there. the H22 does weigh more, so the dynamics WILL change (please do not interpret this as making the car horrible H22 guys). It is an excellent alternative to a type R engine, but the hassle factor is greater. bear in mind that preludes, while comparable in weight to the GSR, are no faster. The main reason is the gearing isn't as aggressive due to the lower redline. It'll make a good city driver, though.

 

do the H... if your worried about gearing so much, there are adapter plates out or coming out to use b series trannies. H has a lot of low end power because it has more displacement, which is somthing you wont get with a B series motor (not as much of dont bring up you can bore the B out cause u can do the H also, its stock bigger bore so it will have more in the end)
